Han Solo’s Iconic DL-44 Heavy Blaster Heads to Auction

Star Wars fans have long coveted the myriad of props and memorabilia surrounding the beloved Sci-Fi series which launched in ’77. But, this particular movie prop auction piece might just take the cake. The long-lost BlasTech DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol wielded by Han Solo in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope has resurfaced and is available to own. While the 9mm blaster was used by Harrison Ford in the iconic moments of A New Hope, it was labeled missing so Ford switched to a different blaster prop for subsequent films. But, thanks to Rock Island Auctions, one lucky Star Wars fan can call this blaster their own.

Accompanying the blaster itself is a signed photo of Harrison Ford as the interstellar smuggler himself Han Solo. Rock Island Auctions estimates that bidding will end up between $300,000 and $500,000 but we wouldn’t be surprised if it winds up much higher.

Whether at home or on-the-go, when it comes to vaporizers, we want it all. We want to be able to use full flower or potent concentrates depending on the mood–and keep it smooth without any harsh smoke. We want multiple modes for unique combinations of flavor and vapor. We want an oven that’s as easy to clean as it is adjustable depending on the length of the session. Sounds impossible, right? It’s not with PAX Plus. In addition to packing all those features into one perfectly portable device, it’s also one the most sleek and stylish products that’s come out recently.
